Well, unfortunately, the Detroit Lions cut Rugland on Tuesday. Early reports say he will next be working on a new music video for The Pogues (joke).

David Akers, of course, is the starting Detroit kicker. RotoWire has him ranked #9 for the upcoming season. Akers is a six-time all-pro and a 15-year veteran. So Rugland didn't lose out to some no-name.

Remember, dome kickers always make for safe fantasy picks.

this kind of article/news/blog is not what i paid for, its a kicker, they are not relevant. maybe an article about strength of schedule, wr's with highest catch rate, df's that are historically bad at defending te's

I agree with kissmyredzone. How is this fantasy relevant?

kissmyredzone and ryanthemagi: my apologies. I was just injecting some brevity into our stressful days leading up to Week 1 match-ups. I should have kept the mix of brevity and fantasy news more balanced -- hence the added David Akers comments. Thank you for the column ideas. Ken

Ugh, "levity", not brevity.

Billy Hamilton went for $28 in the NL LABR auction this past weekend. I discussed this with a fellow writer who participates in Tout Wars with me later this month and we discussed the problem with investing heavily into Hamilton.
